"Hold Me Up" is the debut solo single by Australian singer Conrad Sewell. The song is co-written and co-produced by Sewell and Brian Lee (who has previously worked with Lady Gaga and Icona Pop), The Euroz and Louis Bell. The song was released in Australia on 3 March 2015 and peaked at number 39 on the ARIA Singles Chart. The track was released in the United Kingdom on 24 July. The remixes were released on 20 November.
Sewell moved from Brisbane to Los Angeles to work on his music and in late 2014, provided the vocals on Kygo’s 2014 tropical house hit "Firestone".
On March 2, 2015 Sewell announced his opening slot on Ed Sheeran's 13-date Australian X tour throughout March and April via a video posted on his Facebook page. "Hold Me Up" was released the next day.
"Hold Me Up" emerged from a late-night, free-form session in the studio. Sewell said; "I’ve been doing this thing lately where I set up a mic live, put on some reverb so I feel like I’m singing in front of people, put on a track and just flow a melody over it. It’s been hard for me to get up-tempo songs, because I love nothing more than sitting at the piano and melting your heart—that’s definitely what I’ll tend to do in a writing situation. So when that one came, it was just a fun track that you can dance, drive, sing to, and we can worry about the serious stuff later."
I give myself very good advice
But I very seldom follow it
Could explains the trouble
That I'm always in
Be patient, is very good advice
But the waiting makes me curious
And I'd love the change
Should something strange begin
Well, I went along my merry way
And I never stopped to reason
I should have known there'd be a price to pay
Someday
I give myself very good advice
But I very seldom follow it
Will I ever learn to do the things I should?
Well, I went along my merry way
And I never stopped to reason
I should have known there'd be a price to pay
Someday
I give myself very good advice
But I very seldom follow it
Will I ever learn, will I ever learn?
